Don't keep your hopes up, man. Since Google is open-sourced, there's no pressure or enforcement for OTA updates from manufacturers. If it was like Microsoft or even Apple, since they are closed platforms, then they would be forced to provide updates for their phones, which gives Microsoft an advantage for their Windows phones over say Motorola or HTC on Android, that's the catch if you want freedom in a phone. Will not be surprised if 3.0 shows up on even the earliest adopters by the middle of next year.

The catch is that you bought a phone from a company that does not support their products. Just about every Motorola phone has been updated to 2.2; even out of production phones like the first droid. Samsung and Sony are not used to releasing updates for phones...so they don't.

I don't understand why anyone is still waiting for OTA update to 2.2 just root the thing yourself.
